As is also customary for Penny’s books, there are side issues at play, and many currents swirling under the surface. Penny’s masterful writing makes for smooth reading, and her knack for arousing curiosity about what comes next pulls the reader through the book. While some of the action takes place in other parts of Quebec and in other locales, the bulk of novel revolves around the familiar, quaint village, with the characters Penny’s readers have come to know and love.Īs usual with Penny’s books, there are layers of mystery, numerous suspects, plot twists, and plenty of suspense. Penny often sets at least a portion of her novels in the imaginary town of Three Pines, Quebec, and A World of Curiosities is no exception. And when you’ve set a high bar in the past, it’s always a challenge to meet those standards. After all, this is the 18 th installment in Penny’s Armand Gamache series. As a long-time fan of acclaimed Canadian mystery writer Louise Penny, I awaited the November 29 th debut of her latest work, A World of Curiosities, with both enthusiasm and trepidation.
